Burglars have stolen four milk floats from a dairy after using one of the vehicles to smash their way through security gates.

Thames Valley Police said one of the stolen Ford Transit milk vans had been recovered in Kennington, near Oxford, and another seen in the Blackbird Leys area.

Intruders drove off in the Dairy Crest floats between 2am and 8am on Sunday after breaking into the firm's depot in Towles Mill, Oxford, to steal keys.
